20 Pieces Micro JST PH 2.0 2-Pin Connector Plug Male and 20 Pieces 10 cm Red and Black Silicone Cable Wire with Female Connector

Product Information

In the case of consumer-level AC power, connector gender is used to implicitly enforce safe use of power connectors. Because of this consideration, it is illegal under electrical code to make or use any gender changers to connect AC line power to consumer-level equipment. Sometimes both ends of a cable are terminated with the same gender of connector, as in many Ethernet patch cables. In other applications the two ends are terminated differently, either with male and female of the same connector (as in an extension cord), or with incompatible connectors, which is sometimes called an adapter cable. A plastic structure holds these sets of pin headers together. This structure is often designed to snap apart as needed, though female headers are generally manufactured with a set number of pins. Twist-on wire connectors (e.g. wire nuts) – used in low-voltage power circuits for wires up to about 10AWG

By its design the traditional failure mode in tin plated connections, fretting corrosion, is prevented .The M12 connector, specified in IEC 61076-2-101, is a circular electrical plug/receptacle pair with 12mm OD mating threads, used in NMEA 2000, DeviceNet, IO-Link, some kinds of Industrial Ethernet, etc. [16] [17] Hermaphroditic connections, which may include both male and female elements in a single unit, are used for some specialized tubing fittings, such as Storz fire hose connectors. A picture of such fittings appears in §Genderless (hermaphroditic), below. Interchangeable garden hose fittings made by GEKA are also hermaphroditic, relying on a rubber gasket to make the final connection. a b Reference Designations for Electrical and Electronics Parts and Equipment: ASME Y14.44-2008: Section 2.1.5.3 (2).

Chassis or panel connectors permanently attached to a piece of equipment so users can connect a cable to a stationary device In some cases (notably electrical power connectors), the gender of connectors is selected according to rigid rules, to enforce a sense of one-way directionality (e.g. a flow of power from one device to another). This gender distinction is implemented to enhance safety or ensure proper functionality by preventing unsafe or non-functional configurations from being set up.Foreman, Chris, "Sound System Design", Handbook for Sound Engineers, Third Edition, Glen M.

The assignment is a direct analogy with male and female genitalia, the part bearing one or more protrusions or which fits inside the other being designated male, in contrast to the part containing the corresponding indentations, or fitting outside the other, being designated female. Extension of the analogy results in the verb to mate being used to describe the process of connecting two corresponding parts together. Printed circuit board (PCB) mounted screw terminals let individual wires connect to a PCB through leads soldered to the board.
